Conspicuous in Red
In the Garden – Conspicuous in Red There doesn’t seem to be anything shy about red impatiens growing in the garden. Their colorful brightness against the green leaves drew my eyes in for a closer look. On days when I am in the mood for macro photography, Ogden Gardens is one of my favorite go-to…
